Energy flow and nutrient cycling are two important components of an ecosystem. What will be true comparison of the two?
1. | The amount of energy is much greater than the amount of nutrients |
2. | Organisms always need nutrients, but they don't always need energy |
3. | Nutrients are recycled, but energy is not |
4. | Organisms always need energy, but they don't always need nutrients |

Net primary productivity is the gross primary productivity minus:
1. | that which is consumed by herbivores |

By process of leaching during decomposition of detritus, water soluble :
1. | organic nutrients go down the soil horizon and get precipitated as available salts |
2. | inorganic nutrients go down the soil horizon and get precipitated as unavailable salts |
3. | organic nutrients go down the soil horizon and get precipitated as available salts |
4. | inorganic nutrients go down the soil horizon and get precipitated as available salts |

The three steps of decomposition occur:
1. sequentially, with catabolism being the last step.
2. sequentially, with leaching being the last step.
3. simultaneously.

Decomposition of detritus is rapid when:
1. It is rich in lignin and chitin
2. Ambient temperature is low
3. Environment favours anaerobiosis
4. It predominantly contains nitrogen and sugars
